Chatting, Mulan is knitting at home. I don't smell the loom, only the woman's sigh. What is this woman thinking? Ask the woman what she remembers. Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember. The military post I saw last night was full of soldiers. The art of war consists of twelve volumes, which contain the names of lords. Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no big brother, and she is willing to be a pommel horse, so she will sign for him from now on.
Buy horses in the east, saddles in the west, reins in the south and whip in the north. When I said goodbye to my parents, I was by the Yellow River at dusk. I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard the Yellow River splashing. Say goodbye to the Yellow River and go to Montenegro at dusk. I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard Yanshan Hu riding a horse.
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying. The breath of the new moon is golden, and the cold light is iron. The general died in battle, and the strong man returned in ten years.
See you later, the son of heaven is sitting in the hall. Policy 12 turn, before reward 100. Khan asked him what he wanted. "Mulan doesn't need Shang Shulang, but she is willing to borrow a camel from the Ming Dynasty to send her son home." .
My parents heard about the woman and went out to help Guo; As soon as Sister A heard that Sister Mei was coming, she had to cut her red makeup. When I heard my sister coming, I sharpened my knife at pigs and sheep. Open my East Pavilion door and sit on my West Pavilion bed. Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes. When the window is decorated with clouds and temples, the mirror is painted yellow. When you go out to meet your partner, your partner is depressed. After traveling together for twelve years, I didn't know Mulan was a girl.
Male rabbits have messy feet and female rabbits have blurred eyes; When two rabbits walk side by side, can I tell if I am a male or a female?
This paragraph does not directly describe the reasons why Mulan joined the army, but starts from Mulan's psychological activities, and at the same time pays attention to the portrayal of characters, so that readers can see a female image who is decisive, brave, bold and full of responsibility.
Then Mulan prepared to go out to war, using four repetitive sentences. The content is nothing more than buying horses and riding equipment. It seems unreasonable to buy horses, saddles (cushions under saddles), reins (to control the chews, halters and reins of horses) and whips from the East City, the West City, the South City and the North City respectively, but it exaggerates the atmosphere of war and the nervousness of preparation before leaving home for war. At the same time, these four poems and the above "What do you think of asking a woman?" As Xie Zhen in the Ming Dynasty said, "This is a casual remark. Simple and natural, complex and not chaotic. When asked and answered, buying pommel horses in one city is simple and tasteless, almost exceeding the number of Yuefu families. "
In the second part of the poem, Mulan embarked on a journey. The following eight sentences are about Mulan leaving her parents to go to war. Here, Mulan's journey is divided into two parts with repeated sentence patterns. Although the sentence patterns are the same, the place names are changing, which shows that the war is urgent and Mulan is eager to participate in the war. However, the author has not forgotten that the hero he focuses on portraying is a woman disguised as a man who is away from her parents for the first time. "I didn't hear her call a female voice" was in line with Mulan's situation and status at that time. Tan's evaluation of this sentence in the Ming Dynasty is: "It's especially wonderful to have a good language without a man's defense." "No one is defensive" is also the genius of the author, and only in this way can Mulan's image be more vivid and full of personality. Hua Mulan can resolutely join the army for her father and stand the test of severe war, which shows that she is different from ordinary women, but she is still a woman. After all, she is attached to her hometown and parents. This highlights her female identity. Instead of weakening her heroic image, it makes her military actions more legendary and fascinating.
Then I wrote about Mulan's life in the army, but this part is very general. From fighting in the south to returning from meritorious service, I only used the following six sentences, which is simple and clear. Here "Rong Qi" refers to the war, "Shuo Qi" refers to the cold in the north, and "Jin Qi" refers to the bronzes used for cooking and playing in the army. These poems are neatly written in the law. Therefore, later generations often suspect that this poem was written by the Tang Dynasty, and some researchers speculate that this poem may have been processed and modified during the circulation of the Tang Dynasty. But there is not enough evidence for these claims. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many works were close to the modern poetry of the Tang Dynasty in systematic rhythm. At that time, some poems already had very strict sentences. It can be seen that several harmonious antitheses in this poem cannot be proved to be from the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Chen said: "The number of words in Shuo Qi Chuan Jin was fixed in the Tang Dynasty, but everyone in Qi Liang was from the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang people were definitely not from the Tang Dynasty. In order to know its true ancient characters. "
A lot could have been written about Mulan's military life, but the author summed up this experience in a few words, which shows that the author's interest is not in the performance of war, but in the dramatic event that Mulan disguised as a man and joined the army as her father.
The third part is about Mulan's successful return. The author also spent a lot of time trying to spread it. Write Mulan's exploits first and see the son of heaven again. The son of heaven met her in class. Strategic training is to remember merits and deeds, to turn to honours and titles, and to turn to twelve is also wordy, not to refer to it. It is also a coincidence that the twelve turns here are consistent with the official system of the Tang Dynasty. It does not prove that this poem was written or revised by the Tang Dynasty. "Before 1000" means more than 1000, which means more rewards. But Mulan doesn't care about the official position and reward, she just wants to return to her hometown and reunite with her relatives as soon as possible. Camels are camels that can walk thousands of miles. Mulan doesn't want to be an official or a huge reward. She just needs to borrow a camel that can travel thousands of miles to go home, which shows that she is anxious to return. At the same time, it also shows that the heroine from a civilian background doesn't like fame and fortune.
After a long and arduous war, Mulan finally returned to her hometown. This poem describes in detail the joy of Mulan's family after hearing the news. Here again, I used repeated parallelism, and wrote the movements of my parents, my sister and my brother in detail. This repeated parallelism sets off a cheerful and festive atmosphere. Later, I wrote about Mulan's behavior after she came home, and also described the specific details in detail. She opened the door of the East Pavilion and sat on the bed of the West Pavilion, fully showing the joy after returning home. After changing clothes and dressing up, she recovered her true colors, and then went out to see her partner, who was surprised. "After twelve years of wandering together, I didn't know Mulan was a girl!" The plot is full of comedy. Mulan's incomparable pride and pride are reflected by her partner's surprise, and the plot of the whole story ends in a climax full of comedy. However, the author seems to be wanting more. At the end, he wrote four more sentences: "The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred. When two rabbits walk next to the ground, I can tell if I am a male or a female!" Strange metaphor, as the end of the whole poem, is unique, heroic and powerful, and its tone is full of praise and praise for the heroine Mulan.
